Papa John's – pizza quality proven over time
"Better Ingredients. Better Pizza" is not just a nice slogan.
In 1984, Papa John's opened its doors with one goal in mind: Better Pizza. We knew that with better ingredients we would create better, superior quality pizzas. That goal and the promise of "Better ingredients. Better pizza." remain true to this day. That is why we control the quality of our production throughout the entire lifecycle of our pizza, from dough-making to baking the final product.
The first Papa John's restaurant was opened by John Schnatter in 1985 in Jeffersonville, Indiana.
Confidence in the future
Superior taste and quality of Papa John's pizza ensure that each year the number of visitors in the chain's restaurants will grow, and so will the revenues. For example, our very first restaurant in Moscow on Kravchenko Street has been increasing its revenues for 13 years.
We are actively opening our own pizza restaurants in Russia. Our investments in launching new restaurants are paying off – we earn money by selling pizzas rather by just selling franchises. The involvement of our partners allows us to speed up the growth of our chain and helps us introduce more people to really tasty pizza.

Our original dough is made in the quality control centers; it is never deep-frozen and is supplied fresh to our restaurants. The distinctive feature of our recipe is the unique mixture of seven simple ingredients: unbleached flour, rich of proteins, purified water, sugar, soy oil, salt, yeast and extra virgin olive oil.
